We know folk love our monthly building history tours. Arthur, one of our youngest regular visitors has been back, adding to his tour guide research, bless him. And at the other end of the spectrum, we have had some more fab feedback!

We have been working with Tracy Hartnell for a while now, collaborating with her as she's been researching the story of Peter the Wild Man. She popped in last week to update on progress. And with her came Peter. We can't wait to see the final piece.

We loved welcoming the UEA History, Heritage & Archaeology Society last week. It is so great to see students visiting & we hope we can find new ways of working together in future. ID: photograph of a wooden male figure of Samson, with a thank you quote

Over the next few weeks, you might spy our Conservator Dave and his band of volunteers, deep cleaning our recreated chemist shop. With over 2000 items in the collection, this is an EPIC task. In all we estimate they will work on this for 56 hours. Thank you to the little crew!

You know when you send out an invite and more people turn up than you expected? It looks like the crew from 'Associated Equipment Company' were very much up for squeezing into the charabanc for an adventure. If only we knew where they were off to!

David our Conservator and our 2 conservation cleaning volunteers have been hard at work in our Pharmacy display. It turns out that both have pharmacists in their family! What are the chances? #museumvolunteers #museumconservation #conservationcleaning #pharmacyheritage

This week we have been sharing our love of Norwich shawls. Did you know that Norwich was famous for producing exquisite dress shawls? And that Norwich was home to many skilled weavers and dyers who worked for local textile manufacturers throughout the C19th?

As it is Saturday, we thought we would share an image of the old Nest Football Ground, which was located on Rosary Road, close to the Railway Station. We are currently supporting Rudi, a journalist from Belgium who is writing a book on European stadiums. Norwich City FC
